COMMENTS

All positive integer solutions of Pell equation b(n)^2 - 725*a(n)^2 = +4 together with b(n)=A090248(n+1), n>=0. Note that D=725=29*5^2 is not squarefree.

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 27's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011

For n>=1, a(n) equals the number of 01-avoiding words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,...,26}. - Milan Janjic, Jan 26 2015

FORMULA

a(n) = S(n, 27) = U(n, 27/2) = S(2*n+1, sqrt(29))/sqrt(29) with S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310. S(-1, x)= 0 = U(-1, x).

a(n) = 27*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=27; a(-1)=0.

a(n) = (ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap = (27+5*sqrt(29))/2 and am = (27-5*sqrt(29))/2.

G.f.: 1/(1-27*x+x^2).

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*26^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2012

Product {n >= 0} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/5*(5 + sqrt(29)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012

Product {n >= 1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 5/54*(5 + sqrt(29)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012

EXAMPLE

(x,y) = (27;1), (727;27), (19602;728), ... give the positive integer solutions to x^2 - 29*(5*y)^2 =+4.
